The ISPRS Foundation Inc. is a non-profit scientific and educational entity managed by a Board of Trustees for, but independent of, the International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ISPRS). The Foundation provides grants that assist individuals, especially from emerging markets and regions, who wish to further their knowledge, skills and experience in the sciences and technologies associated with the disciplines embodied by the ISPRS.
PCI Geomatics has provided sustainable support to TIF over the past four years through significant financial contributions as well as through in-kind donations of its desktop software Geomatica®.
"PCI Geomatics is dedicated to supporting initiatives such as the ISPRS Foundation, which encourage development and growth within the photogrammetry and remote sensing areas," said Dr. Robert Moses, President and CEO of PCI Geomatics, as well as a TIF Trustee. "We are pleased to participate and embrace the idea of giving back."
"Our donors are providing the means to enable many skilled individuals from developing countries to participate in our profession with the ultimate benefit of providing advancement of their country," said Larry Fritz, TIF Finance Officer. "Thank you to Dr. Moses and PCI Geomatics for their generous donations to TIF, and we encourage other companies and individuals to join in and take part in this positive initiative."
